Iran Shoots, US Misses: Are Our 'Advanced' Air Defenses Just Another Woke Scam?
Tehran's slap at the US Navy in Bahrain proves that THAAD ain't all that, and maybe we should stop funding gender studies for the Taliban.

So, Iran decided to poke the bear, or rather, the bloated Uncle Sam, near our precious Fifth Fleet HQ in Bahrain. No boom-booms reported (yet), but the fact they even got close enough to film some fireworks is sus AF. Remember when we were told THAAD and Patriot missiles were the ultimate shield? Turns out, they're about as effective as Kamala's border control.
Some fancy-pants Royal Navy dude, Tom Sharpe, pointed out Bahrain's been lacking in the air defense department. You know, kind of like how the entire Biden administration is lacking in the brain department. But hey, at least we're diverse and inclusive while the Ayatollah's drones are playing dodgeball with our billion-dollar toys.
Speaking of toys, we've been shipping THAAD and Patriots like they're Amazon Prime orders. Problem is, they cost more than your average house, and we're running out. Ukraine's got, like, ten Patriot batteries and Kyiv still looks like a pin cushion. Makes you wonder if maybe, just maybe, we should focus on securing our OWN borders first.
Our Navy's got a dozen Arleigh Burke-class destroyers flexing in the Gulf, and they've been swatting Houthi drones like flies in the Red Sea. Good for them. But even with 100+ fighter jets buzzing around like angry bees, Iran still managed to get some shots in. That's what we call a 'teachable moment,' folks. Except our teachers are all woke professors pushing CRT.
Turns out Iran's got 2,000 short-range ballistic missiles and a whole lotta Shahed drones, those cheap and cheerful suicide planes they've been exporting to Russia. Russia's cranking them out like hotcakes and probably helping Iran upgrade their tech. You know, because 'America Last' is the new black.
Sharpe, the RN dude, said their war games always ended with some Iranian boom-sticks slipping through the cracks. 'If the Iranians unleash everything – go hard and fast – the US will run out of THAAD and Patriot interceptors.' Sounds like a solid plan, tbh. Meanwhile, back in reality, we're busy debating pronouns and banning gas stoves.
Some think-tank nerd, Edmund Fitton-Brown, suggests Iran's being 'moderate' in their retaliation. Maybe. Or maybe they're just waiting for us to get distracted by the next social justice virtue signal so they can really let loose. Remember the Houthis? We've been bombing them for a year, and they're still launching missiles. War from the air? More like a participation trophy for everyone involved.
Wake up, sheeple! Our 'advanced' air defenses are a joke, our foreign policy is a disaster, and our leaders are more concerned with woke points than protecting America. Time to drain the swamp, build the wall (around the military-industrial complex), and stop funding every two-bit dictator with a sob story.
